I'm not fine with it at all, I'm not sure what made you think that I am. I was only giving a little balance to xuenchen's all out bombardment of
Hilary bashing threads he seems to churn out every few hours of every day. Never see him bashing Trump though, his agenda seems to be to attack Hilary
alone even though Trump admitted he's alright with such tactics.

Not saying that what xuenxhen brings to the table is bogus, I just think his constant Hilary threads show a severe bias and agenda.

I wish it was not against the rules to put the entire article, because there is really no way to pick out bits and pieces. You have to read the whole
thing to get the whole picture.

What has been laid out here is only a small sample of the vortex of wealth that Hillary and Bill Clinton have received from corporations,
foundations, foreign organizations and others with an interest in U.S. public policy. No one with any knowledge of politics believes these payments to
be disinterested or impartial; they are part of a larger political system that rewards politicians for fealty and obedience.

And these are only the things we know about. What else went on beneath the shadows?

In January of 2009 Mrs. Clinton left the senate to become the U.S. Secretary of State. Her salary in that job was $186,600. While that’s not
exactly small, It’s only $12,600 more per year than the salary of a U.S. senator at $174,000. It hardly accounts for a $10 million hike in the
Hillary Clinton net worth total the same year. Also in 2009, Clinton reported buying $5 million to $26 million in money market funds and real
estate.

It’s unclear where the sudden jump in the Hillary Clinton net worth amount came from. In 2009, Mrs. Clinton wasn’t paid any of her famous
six-figure speaking fees. Those payouts didn’t start until 2014. Her last book, Living History, was published in 2003. She received a record advance
of $8 million for the memoir, bit that didn’t enter into 2009 Hillary Clinton net worth calculations. Her next book, Hard Choices didn’t come out
until 2014. Finally, the 2008/2009 financial crisis should have decreased Clinton’s wealth. So where did the $10 million dollar jump in Hillary
Clinton’s net worth in 2009 come from? It’s very difficult to say.

Another curious change to the Hillary Clinton net worth total came in 2011. In that year, Mrs. Clinton’s wealth suddenly dropped from $30
million to $13 million. That’s over 50%. There was no drop in the stock market to account for the $17 million fall in Hillary Clinton’s net worth.
However, Clinton’s public reports show that in 2011, she “exchanged” $5-$25 million in investments. It’s not clear if the exchange left the
money in her name or transferred it to another person. It’s common practice for politicians to place assets in a spouse’s name. Whether that’s
to hide the money from public view or for some other reason isn’t openly discussed. If Mrs. Clinton transferred the money to husband Bill, it would
account for $17 million disappearing from Hillary Clinton’s net worth.

So what's the difference between Delaware and Panama?

Shell corps are set up to hide money and launder so that the owners are very hard to pin down.

And they have 5? lol!

The theory is that giving corporations a safe haven to store all their money free from "excessive" taxation helps the economy. Under that theory it's
preferable to have the money stored in Delaware than in Panama.

She probably "sold" some assets to Chelsea in order to avoid estate taxes on them. It's best to do that well in advance.

Seems like this is what they all do, not just the Clinton's. I guess they're taking a page out of ol' Trump's book.

So you appear to be fine with this practice. Disgusting.

Everybody is doing it so why not Hilary, right?

Yes, Hillary is taking advantage of the current tax structure. So do many of the average business owners in the US.

Should we change the tax code to punish the wealthy/elite in a way that also hurts the small business owner?

The small business owner is not soliciting millions of dollars in donations while holding an office capable of granting concessions to the donors.
Delaware is not really the issue here; the business practices are. You are trying to pretend Hill&Bill are just like small business owners, but then,
you are a well-known apologist for Hill. We would expect nothing else from you.
